Here are the pictures and videos of our progress:
This is what the wiring looked like after it had a "diet". Basically everything was stripped out that wasn't needed for the Cobra.
Started doing a rough install of the wiring. Basically getting the wiring in the hooked up enough to start the car.
More shots of the wiring roughed in. The car was running and driveable at the point this picture was taken.
Dash temporarily mounted. Most of the guages are hooked up and working.
Dad and my brother Taylor came down to install the body on the car. This is Taylor working on the trunk aluminum and rear seal.
Dad and Taylor uncovering the Cobra body for the first time since we received the kit.
Taylor and I. We are about ready to install the body.
The body is on the car!
Here I am aligning the side pipes.
Shot of the interior after the body was installed. Notice the battery and engine kill switch mounted on the rear of the transmission tunnel.
Me giving Angie her first ride in the Cobra. My brother Brek and Angie were visiting.
The car is loaded and on it's way to the Jeff Miller Customs in Temecula for paint. This picture was taken in Upland, about halfway to Temecula. I had stopped to get a drink and check the straps on the trailer.
Arrived at Jeff Miller's. Jeff fits and adjusts the door gaps with the body on the car. Then the body comes off and gets left at Jeff's while the car gets taken back home. Once the body is done being painted, we will bring the car back down to have Jeff fit the newly painted body back on the car. Notice all the other Cobra bodies being worked on.
Here is a video of me giving my brother Brek his first ride in the Cobra:
